In other words, approx. 14x737 KiB (post-install).
By contrast, other icon themes have equally pleasing user-desktop.svg files of very reasonable size (< 25 KiB). Examples include those in /usr/share/icons/elementary/places and /usr/share/icons/Humanity/places and /usr/share/icons/lubuntu/places on my Lubuntu 12.10 system.
